    Why wouldn’t you just use something like Firefox? Why the actual fuck would you opt to continue using Chrome?

      They might simply prefer it, or be in an environment where they have no choice (e.g. office, education).

      I’m a stubborn Firefox user but I have to say, this feels a little aggressive and not at all likely to convince anyone to switch.

        So you’re saying they’d be allowed to sideload a discontinued chrome extension onto their work laptop but not allowed to download another legitimate browser? Yea…not buying it. Same with an educational setting. Pretty sure the person I reaponded to just simply is used to Chrome and doesn’t want change (which I do understand.)

      I stripped it from all google crap, extra features, etc. Then the features I want I added in using an extension I wrote and maintain myself
